Don’t think it matters that much as long as you don’t load it up. Sounds more like it’s drawing Air in or the pump is no good in the first place.

The header tank has a filter in it that can get blocked. As it is easy to change and much cheaper than a pump or steering rack it makes sense to change that first. Normally noisy power steering is due to Air in the fluid or starvation of fluid on the suction side of the pump. First I would...

Just replied to a post on my YouTube feed that I assume was you.

Sounds like they didn’t get to the bottom of the problem. You could do with a way to monitor the current to each of the plugs or even all of them. Think I did a video on testing them a while back. I will have a look later when I get home.

I take it they were all tested and working?

When you say they have been changed, how long ago?

Being a 2012 which is one of the later models, can you check the state of your glow plugs with the code reader? I know on the older models it’s quite difficult to do although I did discover away in the end. My 2008 went through glow plugs like they were going out of fashion. I eventually found...

What year is it?

Might be worth taking a video of it working. It is surprisingly difficult to remember the exact startup sequence. Also try not to move the steering after you switch the engine off that way it should not lock it.

Thanks for your feedback

Emulator will not release the steering lock and replacement steering locks are eye wateringly expensive. If the start button works it should be getting beyond the immobiliser???

I expect Land Rover went to Great lengths to make it has difficult to bypass the mobiliser. I would be dubious about using a steering lock emulator that was probably designed and made in China for the soul purpose of bypassing Land Rover immobiliser.

On mine, the module that connects to the OBD connector that allows you to check for fault codes is also disabled by the immobiliser which is why I was surprised you could access fault codes. Are you sure these are not old fault code stored by your reader?

I have read somewhere of someone drilling a hole into the steering column casing and then spraying silicone lubricant into the steering lock but it sounded a bit extreme to me. As I recall when mine jammed once in the past. Putting the key in the dock turned on the power to the radio and satnav...

Until you get the steering lock off and the immobiliser light stops flashing, you will not get any further. It won’t take much from the battery to do that.

Dead battery in fob should only affect remote locking. When it is in the dock it’s powered by the car. (Bit like a contactless phone charger)

There are devices that simulate/trick it into thinking the steering lock is off but I wouldnt go down that route. Perhaps the grease in the steering lock has gone thicker in the cold? Try a fan heater on it see if that helps.

Yes the steering lock module turns the power on to I think its 7 other computers.

I'm supprised you get any codes at all if the dash has not powered up.

Is the steering lock comming off? If not try wiggling the steering wheel like we did in the old days.
